Ok guys is everyone happy to meet at the Bunnings in Cranbourne, corner South Gipsland Hwy and Thompsons Road at 8pm (Melways Ref 129 H9)?

I suggest we aim for meet up at 8pm leave by 8:30pm.

If people have some little things to do to their cars that they cant get done till Friday night, like fire extinguishers. Just bring everything you need down with you. Their will be plenty of hands and plenty of tools to use.

ferni - Bruce is infact not running. There was an entry form mistake. Maybe if Jack gets off his ass and sends his form in he will take his spot in our group.

Jerermy Bevan - unless he has changed cars recently - will be driving a dark green stock looking 200SX (S14) that you will get upset by when he kicks your ass. Not a SAU member but I remember being beaten by him at Sandown last year when I first started out and thinking WTF??? As mentioned it LOOKS completely stock. Even has the stock (aka POX) S14 rims on it still. He used to run in the MSCA track events. If he's in the 200SX he was lapping the Island last year in the 1.53's. Ultimate track sleeper.

1.53 in a 200sx hey, damn, if he's running semi-slicks he doesn't count :) or give me a ~3second headstart heh. Whats he running that makes it so quick?

Hey ferni...unfortunately the anthony in your group isn't me......I'm in Roys group again. Oh and if the Mx5 in your group is an orange one he might be keeping you all honest :)

Chris.....I'll be meeting up with you guys at bunnings....8pm with 8:30 leave is fine by me.

Well now this Chris has driven my car he knows my pain in trying to get a good lap time out of it:)

8pm meet up sounds good, and Ant, i left a message with my brother, ill touch base once i hear back from him.

...and last thing, come on Ferni, your in a GTR with AWD, with TT and GTR badges. It doesnt matter what tyres you have

I've had a major set back with my car. As some of you know I ordered a 400r Copy, which was actually for a GTST. I sent it back to NSW and got a Jun Style bar sent back. I went to fit it last night and the mould is just crap. It's bowed in the middle and leaves a 15mm gap between the headlights and the bar, no matter how hard I push it up.

I'm calling the head scutineer now to see if I can run on Saturday without a front bar.

For Aaron and Koah,

Extinguisher Mounts in my car.

First on the drivers side rear seat you can see the seat bolt I am talking about. However - we normally mount them on the passenger side as you can see. Unscrew the seat bolt and put it through the mount and bolt it back in (you will have to drill out the hole on the mount a little to fit the seat bolt through the hole). Then clip the extinguisher in and Bob's you uncle.

The same turbo gold/orange MX5 at Calder that was running 2seconds slower than me at Calder ? :cheers:

Dont mean to nag people, but are you all abel to confirm if you are intending on staying any of the 3 nights. Neither Snowie or I are able to cancel the rental accom we have arranged, but i can cancel as long as i pay a cencellation fee. If there is only going to be 3 people in my place then that works out to be a fair sum of coinage so will mean im better paying the cancellation fee and getting some money refunded.

At the moment my understanding is that:

- Ant95GTR + 1

- Roy

- West

- skyline_geoff

So with only 5 people for what nights i dont know. But its $140 per night

Possibly

- Emre, may stay with Andrew?

If it's too late then i'll stay saturday night as well but definately i'm heading home on sunday morning. Hope i won't be crusing home alone co's i'll be fcuking bore :wassup: .

Im in:wave:

Car got a "its a bit of crap but its going alright" report from the Dr:) But hey, its my peice of crap:) LOL... was again a bit smokey today and my AVCR is now truly dead, so out it comes before Saturday:)

LOL. Scotsman will get to drive it before me so he can give me the heads up regarding the type of weekend im going to have.

Finally i should be able to get a decent day at the track with 230rwkws:thumbsup:

Andrew - Faxed the form off first thing this morning, my fax machine at home was playing up so the missus had to do it at work.... Should be on the list by tomorrow...hopefully....

Its gonna be 30 degrees on Saturday so the track should be nice and sticky for all you schumacher's (Snowman/Chris), don't think it would make a difference to me as I'll be just strolling along.....

I seem to have gotten number 47. Its a gtst auto so nothing to fear. I feel i should be in a more handicapped group.

I will be going down quite late, like 9pm, with some friends who are putting me up.

Robin - if you read this it's Midnight TONIGHT (I said Thursday) thats the cut-off. So if you send it in today it should all be sweet. PS - is it Robin Feburary?

Looking at the list there was about 15 spots left.

But great to see we got some late entries in! Brings us up to 17 club members which is a great effort. It's going to be a good weekend. Couldn't ask for better weather either.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
